[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1198241, member: 141969"] Earlier this year I created a revised definition for the Ortek to fix the problem with the alphabetics not appearing when a real keyboard was used (this problem first appeared in MP 1.12, or maybe 1.11 or 1.10). My solution uses an accompanying AutoHotKey script to correct some of the other quirks of the Ortek, and this includes fixing the problem with the START button alternating between windowed and full-screen. I don't know for sure why the problem occurs, but I think that the explanation is this: for the START button, the Ortek sends the key combination WIN_ALT_ENTER. It seems that the MP support code for the Centarea HID ignores the setting of the WIN key, and so processes the key combination as though it were ALT_ENTER, which (of course) is the combination that alternates between windowed and full-screen. I would expect that EventGhost could be modified to fix the START button problem, but I have never used EventGhost and cannot tell you how to implement the fix. If you want to try my AutoHotKey version, let me know and I will add it to this thread. Note: you would need to install AutoHotKey, and I don't know whether my solution works on Windows 10 (I use it on Vista). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
